OFFERS DUE BY 12:00PM, MONDAY Oct 20 A brick rancher sits atop a shaded hill with nearly an acre behind it. Stepping into the foyer, the oak hardwoods lead to a rear den or turn to the open living and dining area; a giant plate glass window serves as a moving still-life of the Stratford street scene that plays out beyond gently swaying branches. Whether from the garage or the dining room, one finds the kitchen. Though ready for cosmetic updates, it is a showroom for stunning handmade cabinetry of solid maple and cherry countertops. Off the kitchen, a half bath leads to a fourth bedroom (or office) and a laundry room exits to the patio. Opposite the kitchen, a den, warmed by the brick hearth'd fire place looks out on to the deck and the backyard. At the end of the hall, a primary suite enjoys corner exposure and the privacy of its own full bath. The second and third bathrooms are served by a shared full bath that's ready for your taste and vision. Downstairs, the unfinished portion of the lower level has over 1400 square feet of potential, plenty of space and ceiling height to finish for rooms and storage. Just beyond the utility space is the true surprise, a fully finished, recreation space (or bedroom or office suite). Over 700 square feet of a meticulously crafted den, featuring an understated yet elegant boiserie scheme of cherry floor-to-ceiling paneling and a full bath with walk-in shower. This huge space walks out to the back yard, the lion's share of the .91 acre lot, the tree-lined perimeter calms the setting and makes one forget they're so close to Timonium and York roads, and blocks from groceries and shopping.
